Today, we said farewell and happy retirement to a teacher who has worked at the school for 36 years. He is the music teacher so we held a music assembly. Each class sang a song, did a dance, and made a presentation thanking him for the music.

He is such a wonderful teacher. The kids adore him. He is funny, gentle, entertaining, and really gives his time and attention to his students. For the last week, every time my class practiced the song we sang to him, I cried. Today, it was certainly no different.

At the end of the assembly, he grabbed my hand, pulled me up and danced me around the assembly hall. Kids were scurrying out of the way. I was spinning, dipping, skipping around with him. I hope I’m as fit at 65! The school will be so different without him there next year.

I know people will say “I am sorry life is dull lately” but I’d be worried if you didn’t feel that way. Much of my time is trying to “fix” myself when life is like that, blame my cooking skills or lack of willpower.
But it just IS. And you ARE ALLOWED! and what that means is more COMFORT rather than goal pursuing to get yourself OUT OF IT!
So pj up and more smoothies in wine glasses….

Can you tell? I am a teacher’s pet! Still keep in touch with my teacher from the 6th grade!
